Today's the day. The day when gullible gals like you and me would rather fake a bad reaction to Mom's new fabric softener than go to school and be at the mercy of, well, everyone else. It's April Fool's Day--and you know what that means: Time to be on your guard. Here's how to tell if your pals are planning anything outta the ordinary.

They stop talking about something whenever you get close

You see them whispering together when you're not around

Everyone acts really awkwardly around you, like they're trying to play it cool

They tell you to be somewhere super specific at a certain time, like the northwest corner of the corridor outside the library

Instead of the usual books and pencil cases, their backpacks are stuffed with bizarre-o things, like water balloons

They check in with you a million times to make sure your schedule hasn't changed

They're being weirdly nice and complimentary, like they're trying to throw you off the scent of something suspiscious

Have you ever been pranked by your pals? Give us a play-by-play in the comments, cuties!
